Episode 27 Part Nine - The Nightmare Is Over

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Dear god, it's a friggin' Christmas miracle. The Nightmare is finally over. All good and bad things must come to an end, and this gargantuan episode is no exception. Now go spend some time with your families, you animals.

 In this episode, CraigMakk invents the Internet for Drunks and then destroys it to protect us all; Serious Jest rates video games by their ability to be played by a wife; and the guys finish up their abruptly ended video game-themed discussion (thanks, Carla). You'll hear tons of video game reviews, discussions about the benefits of being a ManCave intern (Spoiler Alert: you do NOT have to texture map horse testicles), an insane amount of talk about the cutting-edge new release called Monopoly, and for some reason a weird discussion about going on a One Tree Hill binge. Oh, and you'll get your requisite beers talked about and/or drunk. This one had to end eventually, it might as well be today. Happy Halloweegivingsmas! So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 27 Part Eight - Milk on the Bootay

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Yes, this episode is still going. Yes, the guys are about to nerd out in an amazing way. And YES, it's true that Kate Upton and Carla Gugino pulled the plug on this one. Apparently Jest can really be a creep sometimes.

In this episode, CraigMakk admits that he will eventually be an announcer for a Blood Bowl match if Jest keeps annoying him; Serious Jest pitches a new line of Jizz t-shirts; and both guys nerd out quite a bit about all things video game-related. You'll learn all about the Library of Congress' ruling on game preservation; the ManCave's new "Ready Player Two" interactive gaming platform; how to give rappers the freedom to be shitty; the Battle Royale craze; and way too much about Kate Upton and Carla Gugino. Their electronic cease and desist to Jest is one for the ages. Oh, and a bunch of beers are involved, but is that really a surprise? So strap in, grab yourself a beer (and maybe a phone to play some Game of War), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

Episode 27 Part Seven - Death by VR

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The guys have been teasing you for a while, but now it's finally time to actually talk about Halloween. Yes, we know what month it is. Please don't ask. Just blame CraigMakk.

 In this episode, Serious Jest explains that a) it's not really Halloween until someone gets stabbed, and b) he can't tell white people apart; CraigMakk shares why Halloween is basically just Purge-lite; and the guys dig deep into how they spend the spookiest holiday of the year via TV shows, movies, and video games; enjoy a ManCave review of Haunting of Hill House; suffer through a scorching of shitty VR experiences; learn about why zombies are inherently racist; and prepare to be blown away by some insane future transportation technologies. Oh, and Yudi Pineda. All while the guys drink one of the best beers of the show ever. So strap in, grab yourself a beer (and some leftover Halloween candy), and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"

 In this episode, CraigMakk finally says something not totally shitty about the President (and almost immediately regrets it); Serious Jest educates you on the finer points of the PC Police Force; and the guys dig into a ton of topics that range from the National Museum of African American History & Culture, the "classic" film Soul Man, the horrifying death of Danye Jones, Alec Baldwin's fun crimes, and Big Bird, all while drinking some incredible beers that will make you jealous. As a bonus, you'll get to listen to the ultimate pimp host himself, Mr. Rogers, prove that he will always be a better person than either of these two knuckleheads.

 In this episode, CraigMakk uncovers how fame somehow causes you to forget how to eat basic foods correctly; Serious Jest unleashes his pent up rage against Megyn Kelly for...well, basically everything; and both guys have a Serious conversation about the growing menace of outspoken racism in America, the Black Lives Matter movement, racial privilege, pop cultural commentary, these changing times we live in, and much, much more.

Episode 27 Part Two - We're Makin' MOOOOOOOOVES!!

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" The awesome interview with Legal Fox continues, and things get a bit creepy. Let's just say, if you like farmyard animals in that special way, you'll certainly love this episode.

Plus they drink a bunch of awesome beers that you will love, and manage to keep themselves under control. But don't worry, there is still PLENTY of time left for the madness to ensue.

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Four - I Hate It When An Evil Plan Never Comes Together

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Do you like nuclear bombs? And flooding of major cities? And endless planning sessions with no resolution? How about two bickering old supervillains who cannot agree on anything? If so, then boy oh boy, will you love this episode!

 In this episode, CraigMakk and Serious Jest accomplish very little, argue about a whole lot, advance the story an amount that can only be measured in micro-steps, and weirdly venture into the always friendly topic of politics. Luckily they have some pretty incredible beers to pass the time. Sorry for the complete waste of time, Minister of Gaming JimSardonic...you tried your best. So strap in, grab a beer of your own, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Three - Stark Raving Mad

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" You've seen Heat. You've seen Ocean's Eleven. Maybe you've even seen the other Ocean's movies (Although I cannot imagine why. The first one was perfect. And don't get me started on that all-female cast one. Why not just make something completely new instead of shamelessly capitalizing on the star power of Danny Ocean? That really just seems sexist to me). This is absolutely nothing like any of those movies.

In this episode, Fah-Q and The Stalker desperately fight off diarrhea, get peed on in a public bathroom, stare at elevator doors for far longer than anyone should, and use incredibly dated wrestling taglines in an attempt to intimidate harmless scientists. These guys are criminal masterminds. Oh, and they also plan a heist. Sort of. You'll just have to listen for yourself. But don't make the mistake returning GameMaster Jim did, and bring water to a beer fight. That's just insane. So grab yourself a beer, strap in, and welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!"

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Two - The Bored Meeting

Welcome back to "Live from the MCU!!!" Do you like meetings? How about scientists? What about bathroom brawls?? If so, then do we have the episode for you!!! (Please stay...it gets awesome.)

We welcome Jim back to the party, where he somehow finds a way to make board room meetings slightly less boring than they are in real life. Also, he's a scientist, so I don't know, whatever, man. He's a great story teller. So get ready to hear all the Heat-style heist planning in it's glory, all while the guys drink a whole bunch of beers. It's decided, RPG's are great.

Live from the MCU!!!: Episode Origin (of the ManCave Universe)

Welcome to Live from the MCU!!!, an obvious and blatant rip-off of pretty much everything that is culturally relevant these days. Do you like tabletop gaming? Here it is! Do you like superheroes? No problem! Do you like listening to grown men playing childish games on the internet while drinking beers? You came to the right place!! (Although you should really rethink your hobbies...)

Every good superhero (or supervillain) needs a great origin story...why not listen to the ManCave guys try to build one of their own with a "seasoned" GM all while enjoying a beer or five? Say a warm welcome to Jim Sardonic, who tries his best to teach the guys how not to screw this whole thing up. So strap in, grab a beer, and welcome to the mighty origin of "Live from the ManCave Universe!!!"

Episode 26 Part Two: Caution, Angry Gamers

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" If you thought the guys were a bunch of nerds before, wow, are you in for a rude awakening. They couldn't geek out any more if they tried. It's a miracle they actually suckered women into having kids with them.

In this part two episode, the guys really dig into the whole mixed media thing by expanding their entertainment horizons. You'll learn about how Google sucks at naming their "non-porn" video sites, and then you'll hear a WHOLE lot about video games. And goblins. And superheroes. And mythological demigods. And robots. And 14th century Czechoslovakian women (yeah, I was confused as well...). Plus stay tuned for some sweet multiplayer gaming options to safely kill your friends in. And stick around for the beer, because you know they'll mention that a few hundred times. Seriously, they might actually have a problem.

Episode Twenty-Six Part One: Number One Podcast in Half the Universe

Welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!" Yes, it's been a pretty rough year so far. But don't worry, your boys are back to make everything all better with just a snap of their fingers. And they promise, this time they'll stick around for the half of you that are left.

In this part one episode, you'll hear all about the best episode they ever recorded that you'll never get to hear. Seriously, computers are the worst. But in the meantime, they have plenty of new stuff to talk about. Still interested in hearing about all things Walking Dead? You better be, because boy, does one of the guys want to talk a whole lot about it. And you REALLY better like hearing about comic book movies, because someone sure does want to tell you ALL about them! And if you're really lucky, you might even hear the guys tell you how to stick it to the theaters and still see movies on the big screen for next to nothing. Oh, and all while enjoying some pretty great beers. Because, you know, they really like beer. So grab yourself a beer of your own, strap in, and welcome back to "Live from the ManCave!!!"
